I feel before you move to the next topic is when you must have understood the previous topic. Like me, i always make sure i understand what the previous topic was all about before preceeding to the next one to avoid going backwards and forwards thereby making it more complicated especially in a situation where you are trying to learn something new.
My thoughts might always be different from yours but it all depends, i guess what we should be more concerned about is making sure that we understood it very well no matter the procedures we took in understanding it.

I liked the article. The thing with trying to learn a language from a non developer I struggle with is 'what is knowing'. I know this might sound vague but I'm trying to say how do you know when to move on to the next topic? In syntax is after you can read and understand it, or after you memorized it, or is it after you done some tutorials/examples successfully? In my mind its when I understand the when to use it, and how to use it in at least an example. This doesn't always hold up but I would be interested into your thoughts.
